Apple is working on a foldable iPhone that could hit the market as early as 2026, according to an exclusive report published today by The information.
The report claims the device will feature a “clamshell” design, similar to Samsung’s Galaxy Z Flip smartphones. Apple is said to have contacted suppliers in Asia in recent months to manufacture components for the device.
Rumors of a foldable iPhone have been circulating for many years, but the report claims that Apple is finally moving forward with the project. The device is said to have been internally codenamed “V68,” suggesting that work on the device is being accelerated.
Apple is said to have struggled to achieve its goal of eliminating a visible crease in the area where the iPhone’s screen would fold, but this obstacle may eventually be overcome. However, there is of course the possibility that Apple may decide not to release a foldable iPhone should the device fail to meet the company’s high quality standards.
In any case, it seems as if it will be at least a few more years before the foldable iPhone is available.
